SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

How to give a Sword & Sorcery feel, to a D&D / PF setting?

I think one of the clearest signals you can give to the players that it isn't just another bog-standard fantasy game is to limit playable races to just one: human. There are humans and there are Others, and the Others are all evil. Better still if the demihumans are all removed entirely from the setting and the other intelligent non-humans are not even mammalian.

I agree. In my game (DCC) for the first two years all PCs were human. I now have one dwarf PC. Which given that my game is set in the CSIO/Wilderlands of High Fantasy, the occasional dwarf PC isn't out-of-place.
